The Upavasa window runs from local sunrise to your city’s moonrise. The evening Puja Muhurat is the window for the karva puja and the Karwa Chauth katha, before the moon rises.
Keeping the vrat in UK
The vrat itself is unchanged abroad: sargi before dawn, the nirjala fast through the day, the evening puja with the karva, and the moon viewed through a sieve before the fast is broken. What changes is the clock. Follow the local timings above rather than timings published for Indian cities, since the moon rises over London at its own hour.
Frequently asked questions
When is Karwa Chauth 2027 in UK?
Karwa Chauth in UK is on Monday, 18 October 2027. UK keeps Karwa Chauth on the same date as India, Monday, 18 October 2027, but the timings are entirely different: moonrise in London is 06:59 PM local time, against 07:35 PM in New Delhi.
What time is moonrise for Karwa Chauth in London?
Moonrise in London on Monday, 18 October 2027 is 06:59 PM local time, with Leicester at 06:56 PM and Birmingham at 07:00 PM. The fast is completed only after the moon is seen in your own city.
Why is the date or time different from India?
The vrat ends at your local moonrise, and the tithi is read at your own sky. Time zones and longitude shift both, which is why devotees abroad should follow local timings rather than Indian ones.
When can the fast be broken?
After the moon is sighted in your own city, the moon is viewed through a sieve, arghya is offered, and the fast is broken. Use the moonrise time in the table above for your city.
